Download a *NEW* Proxomitron of your very own!

Proxomitron version Naoko-3 (b)

If you've already downloaded Naoko-3 or Naoko-3a, Naoko-3b fixes a few additional bugs (see the included readme.txt file for details) So as not to break links the filename has not been changed - check the "About" box to see which version you are using.

If you're feeling experimental and would like to try Proxomitron's newest features you can also try the beta version here! However, you still may want to download the current version below, as the beta download lacks the help file and other extras.

The Proxomitron comes in two flavors - one with an installer/uninstaller and one without. Why two? Well, the main program is the same in both, but if you're comfortable copying files on your PC you really don't need the installer. The Proxomitron never places files outside its own directory and makes no changes to your system registry or .ini files. Simply copy it wherever you like and it'll work! Also, deleting the program's directory will fully "Un-install" it: no files will be left elsewhere on your system. If, however, you prefer the familiarity of an installer program, get the version with install/uninstall included.

For this release of the Proxomitron, I've ditched the bloated "Install Shield" for the much smaller Inno Setup installer (a very nice freely available program). Because of this, there's now much less of a size difference between the Installer, and plain versions of the Proxomitron. I'll continue to provide both however.

Note to Win2k users: Several people have reported the installer crashes under Win2k. However Proxomitron itself seems to work fine. For now, just download the version without the installer.

Here's a link from the SimtelNet archive. Should be very reliable, but only the installer version is available here.

For the Installer version extract the zip file and run "setup".
For the plain version just unzip it to wherever you like.

After installation you'll also have to set your web browser to use the Proxomitron. This is usually easy - Just set your browser's HTTP proxy option to a hostname of
localhost
and a port number of
8080.
Change only the HTTP entry: leave any entries for other protocols (FTP, gopher, etc) alone. If you're unsure how to do this, check the Proxomitron's help file for a more detailed explanation.

Here's a sample from Netscape's manual proxy setup screen. To use the Proxomitron, set your browser's proxy options to match those areas below highlighted in yellow.

These sites have included the Proxomitron in their listings, and requested I link back to them.
